"The property seems to be recently updated, it is modern, and clean. The amenity is lacking a few things (for example, it tells the guest to wash dishes and put them away but doesn’t provide a clothe to dry them). Also, the instruction isn’t super clear. The instruction reads to leave the key on the table when checking out (that’s what it says literary in English), when in fact you need to lock and put the key in the lockbox as one example. Also the road to access the property is quite narrow...

"A different track (parallel) from the main Midosuji line but you can get around almost entirely underground to other stations (good for those rainy days)… great hotel location once you know the stops and the exits (exit 3 of Kitahama station) that take you to the front door (quite a few steps going up to the hotel from the station so be mindful if you are travelling with heavy luggage). Attentive staff and nice large waiting area in the lobby. Also loved having a room with a shower only and no bath tub to get in and out of (good for the older/bigger peoples). with gratitude,"

The laundry room was amazing - such a well appointed and tranquil spot while you are keeping on top of chores - even had a coffee machine in there. The use of the washer and dryer were free, which is an absolute bonus. The hotel is a short walk to the subway - we were practically undercover the whole time while moving between transport and the hotel. Loved our stay here - would definitely recommend."
